I think penix puts it better. He keeps on throwing a rod at America no matter how often it gets burned.

“Let me be clear” always proceeds a huge whooper, not really just a spin on something.

Example
“Let me be clear: The United States government has no interest in running GM.”

Yes, exactly so, that has been obvious for some time now.

I nominate BO’s incessant use of “extraordinary,” which he mistakenly thinks he is. No, BO, you are very, very ordinary...a typical college professor who has never had a real job in his life, and whose paychecks have always been confiscated from people who work for their money.

And yet the term “shovel ready” almost perfectly describes the BS that the Obama administration constantly emits...

No “let me be clear” is the new drinking game and most are drunk before the end of any speech he makes.

re: shovel-ready

When I think of this term my only thought is of a grave.

Killed because of the nexus between the term “shovel ready” and the death panels of Obamacare

You missed the death of "Obama-prefix anything". As they said..."Obamanough already."

Go to www.lssu.edu for the complete list.

Hark! Are we going to start hearing the ghost of Mrs. Mitchell? By any chance did Michelle call in the wee of the night? I can’t stand the guy’s policies but I have nothing against him personally. Doesth that make thee a racist? You know what this REALLY tells me? I think they’re having a lousy vacation in Hawaii!

“the previous administration” must also be added. Keep in mind this one doesn’t do a damn thing but attack us.

I thought “shovel ready” was killed when the phrase was used jokingly to describe the freshly dead Teddy Kennedy a few months ago.

Look we all know she wishes she never had to go back to D.C. and be locked up in that White House prison. Her life must be hell in there and I’m not sure either one of them can hold up psychologically another three years. They were expecting all fun and games. That’s because he never had a job and no clue what the presidency of the USA meant. I doubt she’ll let him go for a second term and I doubt he would want it either. They are living a life in that place they never expected. And to call us racists over and over - no Mrs Obama, we are not racists and we’re not socialists either and THAT’S the problem. If she can’t figure that out with her Harvard education, she has no business being there.

Every time you hear him say “Let me be clear",it means he is about to spin something.

Precisely. It's like when somebody says, "To be honest with you...". You have to wonder, what?... you weren't honest with me before??
